hon. a. II. McGlIl-Duflng my recent
visit to Washington was surprised to
find the growth of the protection senti-
ment among Southern men. and particu-
larly was this true of representatives
from Georgia, the Carolinas and Vir-
ginla. While do not believe that the
Republican party in the next campaign
should nominate ticket with view to
cOnciliating or coaXing votes from the
South, yet i believe that many repre-
Sentatives will be elected from that Sec
ton who will cooperate with the Re
pubiicans in congress on the question of
the tariff. But on the national
ticket for president the South will
be solid for Cleveland, and
there is no use trying to
disguise the fact. One thing about the
Democratic party that cannot help adj
miring is their fidelity to the ticket so
long as the nominee is Democratic.
1t is different with US, for we must have
an issue involving principle to keep
our people together, but with Demo
crat his principle, platform and issue
is the head of the ticket. There is no use
wasting time trying to turn this or that
umn next year, no matter what their
representative men may say or do con-
corning the presidents last message.
Politics was the all-absorbing topic of
conversation at Washington while | was
there, but in Republican circles nothing
definite as to leaders neXtiyear seems to
have been determined upon. = --.7

change-We are closing the year with
a much easier money market than an
ticipated. Saturdays bank statement is
very favorable, showing an increase in
reserve of 81, 100000. Last week showed
an increase, but this was caused by.
heavy reduction in loans and seemed to
indicate an effort on the part of banks
to strengthen themselves for the Janti-
airy demands. This week the gain in
reserve is accompanied by an expansion
of loans, showing that banks are salts
fed with their present condition, and
are returning money from the country.
This will keep matters easy. They
seem justified in this view by an in
crease of S1,750,000 in specie last week
Cutting by Western trunk lines, and the
prospect of trouble between miners and
the Reading are the only clouds on the
market. Politics seem to have entered
into the management of the Wabash,
the disturbing faction in Western mat

people in his state, having, it is said,

prospect for the admission of Dakota by
this congress, and in my opinion it
grows out of a lukewarmneSS on the
part of the dominant administration to
admit four new Republican senators.
Such would be the outcome of an
adoption of the proposition to divide
Dakota into two states, and no one
realizes that fact more than the Democ-
racy. Then, too. the people in the
northern part of the territory seem
ayerSe to the division idea, and they
demonstrated this at the recent election,
when the question was up for cOnSidera-
tiOn.- For my part l am for anything
that will help Dakota, and if it is nee
essary to make two states of it, why by
all means let it be done speedily and
relieve our suspense.

returned from England, after seeing the
Wild West show safely housed in it's
winter quarters at Manchester. Nothing
that has ever gone across the water
from America has attracted the atten-
ton or created the excitement equal to
that of Buffalo Bill and his troupe of
cowboys and Indians, and it was not I'M
usual during the season that they
showed at Kensington for concourse of
5000 spectators to be present at the
maneuverS. Naturally, the featS of
Craftsmanship by the cowboys attracted
the most attention, but hOnorS were
pretty equally divided between them
and the Indians, whom the English peo-
pie seemed never to tire gazing at.
Buffalo Bill and his daughter are
touring on the continent, and as soon as
the weather will permit the Wild West
will be transferred to Paris for long
season. 1t is doubtful whether the peO-
pie connected with it will return to this
country for two years at least, and the
bonds signed for the Safe-keeping and
protection of the Indians, who were Sc
cured from five different reservations,
have been renewed with the interior de-
partment. Thus far the profits of the
English engagement aggregate 1000
or $3.50, 900, and my only regret is that
was not able to secure more stock In the
enterprise. Under the management OF
Nate Salisbury the success of the show
has been unsurpassed in the history OF
the show business, and the indications
are that this state of affairs will con-
